Chapter 773 - 270: Innate Five-Colored Earth (Part 6)
Luo Tianxing saw this, and his expression froze for a moment. Then he smiled helplessly:
"I dare not accept..."
"This Innate Five-Colored Earth is so precious. If I accept it, the Power of Cause and Effect will completely bind this old man to your Shen Family."
"Alright, take it. The grudges between the Shen Family and the Huangsheng Sect are settled."
"In the future, the Shen Family should no longer take the initiative to trouble the Huangsheng Sect."
Shen Wen’an stored the Innate Five-Colored Earth into the Storage Bag, then asked in confusion: "Dare I ask, senior, what should the Shen Family do the next time we compete for other Spirits and encounter the Huangsheng Sect?"
This matter cannot be taken lightly.
The attitude of the Supreme Elder behind the Huangsheng Sect involves many plans for the Shen Family.
"Just do what you should do."
"Just remember not to kill that Golden Core brat named Qu Yunhe..."
"Forget it. Also, try not to kill other Golden Cores of the Huangsheng Sect."
"That old guy has a strange temper. Better not let him blame the Shen Family."
Shen Wen’an nodded: "So, rob the Spirits as usual, but we cannot kill their Golden Cores."
Luo Tianxing nodded with a smile.
"This old man needs to return."
"The structure of this world will undergo great change soon."
"However, with the presence of several people from the Cyan Ruo Sword House, your Shen Family need not worry."
As Luo Tianxing’s voice fell, his figure vanished instantly.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Wen’an returned to the location of the Celestial Aromatic Mountain.
"Third Uncle, what did that senior say?"
"Should we still pursue those guys from the Huangsheng Sect?"
Shen Chongming stepped forward and asked.
He had been managing the Shen Family for decades without major errors.
Now, seeing that in about ten years, he could hand the position of Patriarch over to Shen Xiuyan, yet due to negligence, they were tricked by the Huangsheng Sect, making him feel like he was ’ruining his reputation in old age.’
"The senior said the matter with the Huangsheng Sect ends here."
"They have a power behind them that we dare not provoke."
Shen Wen’an spoke solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qixuan and the others were also taken aback.
"Wen’an, are you saying... there’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch behind the Huangsheng Sect!?"
Liu Qixuan’s eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.
The Cyan Ruo Sword House had invited Zhai Yuqing, a Purple Mansion Sword Immortal Realm cultivator.
If the Huangsheng Sect only had a Purple Mansion powerhouse behind them, Shen Wen’an would surely not say this.
"The senior didn’t say explicitly, but I guess so."
Shen Wen’an answered.
Hearing this, everyone present looked grave.
"A Nascent Soul True Monarch behind them... but isn’t the strength of this Huangsheng Sect too unimpressive?"
Xu Zhan still couldn’t believe that the Huangsheng Sect could be a Nascent Soul Influence.
Shen Wen’an smiled faintly: "Alright, let’s not get hung up on this matter."
"The senior said, next time a Spirit manifests, we can still rob them if we encounter the Huangsheng Sect."
"Just remember one thing, don’t kill those three old men."
"Let’s go back first."
They rode the Wind Manipulation and returned to Yunshui City.
Shen Wen’an handed the captured Transformed Object to Huang Lingshan, and the members of the Cyan Ruo Sword House, after a short rest, returned to the auxiliary courtyard of Dragon Coiling Mountain.
After escorting them to the entrance of the old residence and seeing them off, Shen Chongming and Shen Wen’an headed together towards the Black Water Pavilion.
On the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan was sitting cross-legged in a broad gray robe, the Power of Great Derivation permeating around him.
Upon obtaining the Divination and Storage Scripture earlier, he had a premonition that this Cultivation Technique could resolve the impact caused by the Huangsheng Sect of taking half of their fortune.
After days of pondering, he indeed found a way.
Currently, he had utilized that half of the fortune to locate the very root of the Huangsheng Sect’s fortune, only awaiting the use of the Divination Secret Skill to sever it, thus reclaiming half of Shen Family’s fortune, causing the Huangsheng Sect’s fortune to keep dwindling, eventually leading to their downfall.
A multitude of the Power of Great Derivation was slowly drawn out from Shen Yuan’s body, gradually forming into a long sword.
When Shen Chongming and Shen Wen’an reached the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion, they unexpectedly found that Shen Yuan’s entire body was enveloped in dense Power of Great Derivation.
The two even faintly sensed an intangible sharpness accumulating strength.
"Grandfather is..."
At the stairway, Shen Chongming’s expression showed surprise.
"Let’s go downstairs."
Glancing at his father, Shen Wen’an whispered and went back downstairs with Shen Chongming, fearing to disturb his father.
In the Southern Border.
Among the rolling green mountains, towering structures stood between these majestic peaks.
With clouds and mist swirling in the mountains, figures clad in Huangsheng Sect attire occasionally flew by in haste.
However, none of these disciples of the Huangsheng Sect noticed a formless long sword was slowly forming in the void.
A hundred-zhang long sword quietly suspended above the central peak of the Huangsheng Sect’s Sect location, aggregating strands of Power of Great Derivation onto its blade.
After about half an hour, when the last strand of Power of Great Derivation condensed into the tip of the hundred-zhang long sword, far away in the Yangnao Land of Yunshui City, Shen Yuan immediately formed a formula in the air, pressing his hand down.
At the same time, the formless sword above the Southern Border’s Huangsheng Sect descended with a fierce slash!
Yet, just before the long sword could slash the very root of the glorious fortune of the Huangsheng Sect, a strange little figure appeared out of nowhere!
The little figure, less than a ruler in height, radiated a dazzling glow.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared below that Great Derivation Sword!
The little figure wielded a gem-bright Jade Ruyi, fiercely waving it against the descending hundred-zhang giant sword.
In the void, the Great Derivation Sword, painstakingly formed by Shen Yuan over the course of a month, was instantly scattered by the green light emitted from the Jade Ruyi.
"Strange..."
"What technique is this?"
"Why does this attack seem directed at the fortune of the Huangsheng Sect?"
The little figure murmured and then performed a continuous wave with the Jade Ruyi towards the Huangsheng Sect below.
The green rays merged into the void, soon forming strands of green light rain silently falling.
These green light rains passed through the protective barrier of the Huangsheng Sect’s Sect Protection Array, silently entering the ground while thoroughly concealing the fortune of the Huangsheng Sect.
All these occurrences went unnoticed by the many disciples of the Huangsheng Sect.
Having completed this, the little figure stood with hands behind its back in the void, looking toward the densely packed buildings below with a shake of its head before vanishing instantly.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the Black Water Pavilion.
When the outcome was seemingly at hand, Shen Yuan’s hand was suddenly bounced open by a mysterious repulsive force.
His eyes opened wide, his expression grave.
"There’s another master here?"
"But this person seems not to be proficient in the Path of Great Derivation..."
Whispering seriously, Shen Yuan hesitated whether to make another attempt targeting the root of the fortune of the Huangsheng Sect.
The uncle and nephew pair downstairs seemed to hear some movement and jointly came to the second floor.
"Father."
"Grandfather."
Shen Yuan nodded, motioning for them to sit down.
Shen Chongming picked up the teapot, pouring tea for the three of them, then curiously asked Shen Yuan: "Grandfather, what were you doing just now?"
"Why did the Power of Great Derivation on you feel strangely like Sword Dao’s sharpness?"
Shen Yuan chuckled, picking up the teacup before him: "That’s a new Secret Skill I’ve comprehended."
"I intended to use this Secret Skill to sever the fortune of the Huangsheng Sect, never expecting someone would intervene."
Taking a sip of tea, Shen Yuan scoffed: "But it’s nothing. I have plenty of time to slowly deal with them."
Upon hearing these words, both Shen Chongming and Shen Wen’an wore odd expressions.
Neither expected Shen Yuan to be so vindictive.
However, Shen Wen’an vaguely guessed that the one who blocked his father’s Secret Skill might very well be the Supreme Elder of the Huangsheng Sect mentioned by Luo Tianxing.
